Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. The Capitol Studios Sessions (2 LP) (LP)

Goldblum, who has played the piano since he was a child, has performed with his jazz band at venues in Los Angeles and New York City over the past few decades. When he’s not filming, the actor hosts a weekly jazz variety show at LA’s Rockwell Table and Stage. Frequented by locals and A-listers alike, the show intersperses Goldblum’s love of jazz with his passion and skills at improvised comedy.

Recorded in 2018 and produced by Larry Klein, the album recreated the buzz of those intimate Rockwell shows at the legendary Capitol Studios. The studio was transformed into a jazz club – food and drink was served to an invited live studio audience of Rockwell regulars, friends and family.

Jeff Goldblum and The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra deliver the feel and the swing, whilst also making the music fun, funny, and familiar. Those are words not often associated with jazz, though they still can be, and with this album we are reminded of that.
